A resize of the main window of a game room crashes the yahoo java games program
more often than not (details: big resolution screen). Too bad for the yahoo
program, and if they go opensource I'll report this bug to them :-)
Worse: if XP closes down the program, it takes Mozilla down to.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Login to a room (I've seen it happen with go, dominoes and chess)
2.Open a table, focus back to the main room window. 
3.Wildly resize the main room window - hang
4.Kill the window.

Actual Results:  
Mozilla goes down, XP asks to report the event to Microsoft.

Expected Results:  
Mozilla should have killed the java-program, and keep on running the other
windows - or something else, but not completely loose control.


I'm using 1280 x 1024, I did not see it happen on a 800 x 600 screen, allthough
there was plenty opportunity.

You can see this on multiple yahoo.com games (such as Chess and Bridge).

Confirmed on 1.3 release WinXP.

For me, it locks up mozilla 100% of the time when I touch the resize handle.

-> critical - this is very bad

-> normal

Tried with IE - Similar problem; java locks up on resize (not as easily), and
takes IE down with it.

It would be nice if a crashing/locked java program didn't take the browser with it.

It causes a crash, so it's critical.  Also adding the crash keyword to help with
triaging efforts in tomorrow's BugDay.
